- There seems to be an assumption by a lot in this thread that the religious patient isn't suffering. -- nm - Inigo Feb 19, 07:38 6
  - But is he physically suffering because of the painting? - Guigue Feb 19, 07:40

    - then the movie is biased toward the nonreligious guy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:40
  - the question says nothing about that - it doesn't even mention that the religious patient complains - just his family -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:39 2

      - oh sure - but for me, with a gun-to-my-head-pick-one choice, I'll always pick the patient over the visiting family -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:43
- I move the person who has less pain. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:36
I support compromise. the premise (all or nothing) is false. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:31 3
- Then we're not discussing the same thing - Guigue Feb 19, 07:34 1
  - the person who asked the question doesn't speak to me. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:37
- I support compromise too, but I am happy to play along with the hypothetical -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 07:34
